Tap the Glass: An Aquarium Show

September 19th / 7pm / Free

Both the artist and the aquarium enthusiast construct worlds separate from but still contained within our own. Such spaces operate under a unique set of rules and understandings, but are accessible merely by peering through- or tapping- a thin sheet of glass. Reconsider the act of viewing (and perhaps the vivarium environments that we create for ourselves) with multidisciplinary re-imaginings of this aquatic hobby. Ten artists across disparate mediums were provided with tanks to alter, build onto, interpret, or to simply fill. Any fish participants have their safety guaranteed. Complimentary Drinks provided by Bone Spirits and Live Oak Brewery.
